[PATCH 2/2] scsi: retrieve cache mode using ATA_16 cmd if normal routine fails

[Amit Sahrawat]

It has been observed that a number of USB HDD's do not respond correctly
to SCSI mode sense command(retrieve caching pages) which results in their
Write Cache being discarded by queue requests i.e., WCE if left set to
'0'(disabled).
This results in a number of Filesystem corruptions, when the device
is unplugged abruptly.

So, in order to identify the devices correctly - give it
a last try using ATA_16 cmd after failure from normal routine.
